Southwark Playhouse presents

A Midsummer Night's Dream

William Shakespeare

February 4th 2009 - February 28th 2009

Show starts: 7.30pm

Running time: 90 mins

Don’t get caught in the fairy crossfire!

Southwark Playhouse re-imagines Shakespeare’s most magical play in Samurai Japan, bringing the mysticism of the East to the atmospheric cellars beneath London Bridge Station.

Inspired by the delights of Japanese Kabuki dance, the grace of Noh theatre and the comedy of knockabout Kyogen clowns this Midsummer Night’s Dream will create a world where the charmed and the charming co-exist.

Packed into 90 minutes this production will combine vibrant verse, striking physical imagery and ensemble performances to breathe life into this most mischievous of plays.

Directed by, innovative British Chinese director Jonathan Man, this year’s winner of the Better Bankside Shakespeare Award.
